How to Make Space-Saving Freezer Thai Curry - Hot Thai Kitchen

Freezer meals have been on top of my mind in preparation for this baby! But with an always-packed freezer, I have to be conscious of how much space things take.

Here's how I make Thai curries for the freezer that will reheat well AND will not take up unnecessary space. This video isn't so much as recipe, but more of a tips and tricks video. You can apply this method to any of my coconut-based Thai curry recipes. And now you will have a meal that's ready to be served in just a few minutes!

As a single girl I am in *love* with freezer meals... it's nice to cook a lot but not have to eat it all week & then have easy tasty meals for lazy or busy days...Congrats on the growing baby bump! 💚

[demoiselledelamontagne]

I actually really like your tips/cooking hacks videos. Very useful, and you're so good at explaining things. Thank you! and enjoy your time with you baby!

I always find it difficult when I do the green curry, as quantity wise it is too much for one person so I invite my mates to come around. But then, they finish off the whole thing like there is no tomorrow, so faced with another problem where there isn't any left for my second round. But thanks to this great tip, I can now have my green curry in peace and enjoy it later on by freezing it.

There are two reasons I'm watching your videos : your recipes are really good and your English is very easy to understand (I'm from Austria), so I can learn Thai cooking and improve my English skills at the same time!

I love this channel. I was born in Thailand but I live somewhere else now, learning about Thai cooking helps me connect with my Thai heritage. Thank you so much!

I’ve been doing this exact method for years. So handy when the kids are in school and have to be driven to various after school activities.

[aum.]

Wonderful teacher. Lovely personality. Very generous. Great channel. Thank you!!

[chrislykk]

What a great idea. I cook just for myself most of the time and it can be wasteful sometimes. This solves my problem, thanks!

We just entertained with our first 3 course meal meal this weekend. Turned out amazing! Thanks

This is simply a great informative video, saving freezer space is important in my house so thank you for sharing. Here in the UK Thai food is becoming very popular, we love it and watching your videos means I have lot's of lovely cooking experiments to tackle. Best wishes for your new family member x

Hi Pailin,
Great idea to freeze curry to make quick meals when you don’t have time to make it during the work week. A great spacing trick that I use is to cut cardboard to the same size as the storage bag that you are using and place the bags in between the cardboard then freeze them. The bags will be flat on both sides and will make stacking easy thus saving more space when storing.

Thank you for this video Pailin. I make Thai food all the time and always wished there were freezer friendly options until now. Please make more such videos :).

[sittiberkislaja]

I would love to try freezing curries and other recipes as I'm working full time. It will save me time and effort specially when u are tired from work though. Thank you Pai for sharing this technique. Hope u enjoy with ur bundle of joy. Good luck and welcome to mama's world.

[Mazumello]

Yey! New clip comes. Really miss you and hope you and your baby (also yr hubby) had been great.

Hi Pai, my tip: I use coconut oil to cook the curry paste and skip reducing the coconut milk. The curry comes out just delicious. Love your tips!

[dodgeball]

Thank you for taking your time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly.
It shows how much effort you put in all of your videos. :)
There are many cooking channels out there that just show you the ingredients and quickly go through the steps with little to no explanation.

[glotodnev]

Looks fairly easy and quick to create. I love to make Freezer Meals to help out others in my family as family sizes start to decrease. Thanks Pailin!

[rickdono]

I've cooked red Thai curry for the family lots over years, never seen the reduced coconut milk at the start before. Going to try it tonight, also great tips on the freezing too, thank you.

[StacyOh]

Thank you so much this! I so appreciate all information you include. It makes us better cooks rather than just being able to follow recipes. And I was in desperate need of Asian freezer meals. 🙏🙏🙏
